Getting Started

The red arrows are illustrated here for your reference. They are not labeled on the

keyboard as shown here.

Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and

consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input more

convenient. These dual-purpose keys are labeled in orange

on the key caps. Numeric assignments are located at the upper

right hand corner of each key as shown in the figure. When the

numeric keypad is engaged by pressing [

Fn

][

Ins/Num LK

], the

number lock LED lights up. If an external keyboard is connected,

pressing the [

Ins/Num LK

] on the external keyboard enables/dis-

ables the NumLock on both keyboards simultaneously. To disable

the numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, press the [

Fn

][

Ins/

Num LK

] keys on the Notebook PC.

ON or OFF in order to increase navigation ease while entering

numeric data in spreadsheets or similar applications.
